Rated Orencia for Rheumatoid Arthritis Report

I have had RA for over 20 years. Now that I am on my fourth medication and not having a great result I am considering moving on to another treatment. I still have to take prednisone in order to maintain enough strength in my knees and be pretty much pain free. I get five vials of Orencia once a month and I am on methotrexate also. I would guess I have been on this for about two years.

Rated Orencia for Rheumatoid Arthritis Report

I've been on Orencia for 3 years now, and it has significantly lowered the amount of inflammation in my body. My CRP is down to 1.3 (less than 3 is considered normal).

Rated Orencia for Rheumatoid Arthritis Report

I've only had five doses so It's hard to say. Definitely some improvement but not a miracle drug so far. I'm hoping for most response and will write again. It's a hassle because it's an infusion but the center is awesome and no side effects so far. Standard dose and infusion time (1/2 hour) no cost, even parking and free lunch or snack.
